The Panthers flat-out dominated the Hurricanes on Thursday, cruising to a 5-0 win at the Lenovo Center to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-7 series.
Defenseman Seth Jones emphasized the team's mentality: 'We want to get greedy... not just roll over and not be OK with playing an OK game just because we stole one on the road.'
For good measure, Aleksander Barkov added a power-play goal in the third period against Pyotr Kochtekov to round out scoring.
But perhaps the most dominant aspect of the win came on the defensive end. Florida held Carolina to just 16 shots on goal - their lowest of the playoffs.
